ABSTRACT:
A duty cycle detector including a first circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit. The first circuit is configured to receive a clock signal having a first duty cycle and to provide a first oscillating signal having a first period proportional to the first duty cycle. The second circuit is configured to receive an inverted clock signal that is the inverse of the clock signal and having a second duty cycle and to provide a second oscillating signal having a second period proportional to the second duty cycle. The third circuit is configured to provide first output signals that indicate the first duty cycle of the clock signal based on a first phase difference between the first oscillating signal and the second oscillating signal.
